After leaving a fundamentalist religion only to have my soul crushed by the corporate machine, I decided to stop following other people’s rules and create a career that includes alllll the weird and wacky parts of me — and I think that’s a lot more fun for everyone.

At the heart of everything I do is communication, storytelling, and better human interactions.

A lifelong generalist, I pick up the skills I need to do the next job that needs doing — that’s how I became a copywriter, death companion, editor, UX researcher & designer, and Agile project manager, and worked with some of the top theatre companies in the UK.

I’m not bound by one skillset, and my (admittedly bizarre) experience means that I have ideas and make connections that no one else can.

in human words

  • help people understand themselves and each other
  • discover new perspectives and ways of solving problems
  • make sure people feel valued

in business words

  • communicate complex information in simple language, conduct user research, analyze data, and proactively find solutions
  • facilitate design-thinking for teams to speed up the iteration process and improve products
  • lead teambuilding and improve employee satisfaction

I’m here for meaning.

I’m not interested in working with big names with no souls.

Give me the scrappy do-gooders and the kids trying to change the world, and we’ll get it done (on time and under budget).
